Keith Emerson’s legendary instrument ressurection.

1968 was the year when the story began. The owner of the musical instruments shop asked Keith: “Have you heard something like that?” and put the record on listening to which Keith exclaimed: “What the hell is that?” Wendy Carlos (born Walter Carlos) and the album “Switched On Bach”. And the album cover demonstrated the instrument, and the instrument was Moog’s module. Well, Keith surely decided to try it out. He turned to Mike Vickers who was one of the first owners of Moog instrument.

A bit later (in 1970s) Keith bought his personal Moog system – 1CA, which started to be supplemented with other modules. And there were more and more modules with every new album. And soon Keith Emerson’s system grew up to 6,5 feet and weighed almost 400 pounds - Keith called it his “hippo”.

On April 1 2014 Moog Music announced the limited EMMS series which of course was considered to be a Fool’s Day joke though it was not. Gene Stopp – Moog module system leading expert – got down to make it true.

SYSTEM-500 Complete Set was the novelty of 2015, which was greeted and saluted by fans with "Roland’s back finally" shout outs. System-500 is the result of Roland and Malekko Heavy Industry (known for its synthesizer modules and guitar effects)...
